Trump desperate for A-lister to perform at inauguration

The Trump team is struggling to book top-flight talent for next month’s inauguration, a new report states.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee is now hurrying to get a major A-list performer, The Wrap reports.

“They are willing to pay anything,” a source told the online website.

“They told me, ‘We’ll pay their fees.’ Most of these artists’ fees are in the six to seven figures,” the source added.

The report states the Trump team wants “to do better than Kid Rock and Ted Nugent,” two well-known conservative performers. What a smack in the face to two people who supported him.

Lee Greenwood and Garth Brooks are already in talks with transition officials, The Wrap said.

But President-elect Donald Trump’s aides are looking for higher-caliber talent “like Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars.” Hah!, not a chance I hope!

An official from the inaugural committee denied the report.

“No one with any official position at, or official relationship with, the Presidential Inaugural Committee is engaging in the conduct described,” spokesman Boris Epshteyn told The Wrap.

“We are focused on organizing an exciting and uniting celebration of freedom and democracy while following all rules, regulations and appropriate standards of conduct,” he added.?

At the last presidential inauguration, President Obama’s in 2012, Beyoncé sang the national anthem and James Taylor played “America the Beautiful.”
